PIGEONPACKMAN Posted February 15, 2014 Report Posted February 15, 2014 I hopper fed the birds and they didnt scatter it all over the floor if the hole is just big enough for the birds head it hard for them to do it, mind rats and mices are always a problem.
philg50 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Posted February 15, 2014 the waste of food would annoy me along with the mess, what you feedin ?I am feeding a mixture and there is nothing left on floor ,the birds can only go in to feed 2 at a time ,where the food sits is like a shallow v so that it doesnt come to the actual front of hopper and they are kind of forced to stretch slightly ,its made of galvanised metal .Believe it or not i am pleasantly surprised.

dwh Posted February 15, 2014 Report Posted February 15, 2014 once they over the stage where they are gorging themselves they pick at the hopper on and off all day there is v/l super w/h in the hopper during racing and a good mix + barley close season till pairing upand there is no problem of scattering [jmo]
